(Flash Back) An Island of Martial Artist. (Closed to Myself and Nikz. Allies of Doku and Fei allowed.)

A man sat in a throne like chair as another man, chained to his spot, piloted a large warship. "We are approaching Xingshi, Lord Titan." the chained man spoke. Titan gave a wave of his hand as acknowledgement "And the one called Fei shall be here...Correct?" the voice was deep, carrying a commanding tone. The man piloting the ship gulped and spoke "If Karasu's records are correct then yes...she should be lord." "Good..." Titan spoke no more then that word for the rest of the trip. The ship docked and Titan walked off of the ship, before removing a cigar from a case and lighting it with a zippo. Taking a hit off of it and blowing out the smoke Titan awaited for his head of security to arrive.

[[Xing Shi docks]]

The island was bustling once again, the days of the marine occupation was over now as the Wu Shang Pirates had once again reclaimed the island as a whole, reinstating many of the old laws. Much of the docks were in the middle of reconstruction and rebuilding. The people of the island were now back to their regular selves, training at their dojos and opening their stalls and markets at the sides of the path ways of the island.

The docks themselves were also in a state of repair, the islands workers working away at the pillars for certain docks, however the one that had just been occupied by a warship was still in fine condition and the warship was greeted by a welcome group, bearing the insignia of the Wu Shang Pirates. The guard officer was flanked by 3 other men carrying staffs and halbreds, they looked to the figure standing there. He then took out a clipboard "Good day, we need to inquire as to the purpose of your visit to the island?"

Not too far from the warship that arrived, a much less impressive small fishing sloop ship, slowly sailing in towards the docks also, it's red flag fluttering in the wind with the word 'mercenary' painted upon it tidily in black.  It slowly subsided to a halt at the docks, alongside Titan's warship, where a large broad man covered in iron armor, including an iron helmet with a pair of horns attached, was tying his boat to the pier, his great bushy blue beard dangling down, swinging a she worked, the zweilhander sword upon his back shining in the sun, while a she finished a small feline creature with a child's face leapt upon his shoulder.
"Wire Horse!", the peculiar beast squeaked at it's owner, setting itself happily on the armored man, who's hardened expression softened into a quick warm smile and patted the beast on the head; replying to it; "That's right Widdles, were off to see our new employer! Yes we are! How's a clever manticore? you are!", fussing over the animal as Victor Yurvel, more better known by the title, Bluebeard, walked down the docks towards Titan, his expression much more serious that it was a second ago, as the man was currently just approached by some armed guards. The newly hired mercenary stood his ground, keeping an eye on the guards.

Titan watched as the guards approached him and asked of his business as he was about to speak he saw his head of security had arrived "Ah...Bluebeard...How have you been?" Titan asked the exceptionally large man. As soon as Titan had finished his question three men matching the first three went up to Bluebeard and did the same routine "Good day, we need to inquire as to the purpose of your visit to the island?" they asked. Titan let out a deep chuckle seeing this before turning towards the three who had asked himself "I am here to see the Wu Shang clan...Specifically Fei Wu Shang." Titan was straight forward with the men, not wanting to tempt the strength of people who train at nearly all times. Meanwhile on the ship however, Titan's "crew" of slaves began working on alpha protocol. Titan would speak over his Den Den Mushi and the island would begin being bombarded from his ships heavy cannons. Titan of course would not plan on using it unless things turn ugly and he needed a quick escape.

The guards eyed the new group which arrived in the other dock, meanwhile the guards here dealing with this new comer were at a loss. They had half a mind to turn him away before someone walked up , it was a person wearing oriental clothing, he had sharp eyes and had a sporty pony tail. He held his hand together "Humble travellers, lady Fei has personally requested that you meet with her at the Wu Shang Palace at the Tree hill, i shall escort you and one other member of your contingent to go see her. Please do not be alarmed, we mean you no harm, Lady Fei wants to speak to you" The guards suddenly sighed and moved aside as one of the guards say "What do we do with the ships 4th seat Chu Yi ?" The man known as Chu Yi simply smiled "Leave it alone fellas, the captain has ordered we dont touch it understand?" Chu Yi then motioned with his left hand "If you would please Mister, follow me? and bring only one person with you please, Lady Fei insists"

(Since it has been 24 hours I will be posting again. Order will remain the same)

Titan watched as the new comer approached, lowering his mask so his sharp blue eyes were seen Titan bowed but kept eye contact with the man. A sign of respect in many islands cultures. Replacing his mask Titan spoke "Actually, Victor will be staying with the ship, I will be needing to meet Ms. Fei soon as possible and Victor gets...tied up with is pet..." Titan had not ever shown a dislike for the man's softer side to his pet, just wishing in such situations where business was being dealt with he'd compose himself more. "So...Please, do lead the way."

Chu Yi bowed as well acknowledging the mark of respect from Titan. He then leads the way up the hill, past all the bustling dojos and food stalls. People all walking about, training, eating and so on. Chu Yi was waved to on the street as he waved back. He then lead titan up a grass pathway up the hill, until they reach a huge gate which is being guarded by 2 men carrying halbreds, they move aside as they saluted "WELCOME BACK , 4th SEAT CHU YI DONO!!!!!" Chu Yi nodded as the gate opened , he walked foward , there were students on the lawn training striking punches into the empty air. Chu Yi grinned "Impressive isnt it? When Fei returned, they all came like flies trying to leech off her reputation and her strength, but her crew has now grown since 4 to 5 months ago. Fei becoming shichubkai has also lead to some nobles sending their sons to train here as well. Its quite exciting right now..." Chu Yi opened the door and inside the huge palace was stone marble on the floor and white paint on the walls. Fei sat on her seat in the middle of the room, she was meditating , keeping just one foot on the ground while holding herself up from the chair. She was flanked by many people, Chu Yi bowed "Lady Fei, i am pleased to present the man who wished to see you" Fei then opened her eyes, she looked across to Titan and nodded as she sat normally on her chair "Thank you Chu Yi, you did well"

As Bluebeard was greeted by his employer he politely raised a hand in greeting and replied; "Feeling rather well, sir, and ready to conduct business!" while he two was swarmed by security from the island, pestering him with questions, and replied simply; "I am with the gentleman over there, and I too am here for the same business as him.", seeming very disinterested with the group of locals.
Victor then swiveled his neck to the sight of a man how was called Chu Yi, merely giving him a nod of approval to his request, deciding though it may be a trap, he was not putting up with some amateurs.
Though what we has not too happy with was that he was ordered by Titan to stand guard at his employers ship, but he merely held his tongue and complied quietly, giving and obedient nod.
"Understood, sir, I shall remain ever on guard til your return." Victor replied with a quick salute, moving over to stand in front of gangplank of the great warship that belonged to his new boss, merely watching a she and the Wu Shang pirate left to see the captain of the same crew.
